Rhaenyra Targaryen
Rhaenyra Targaryen is the only surviving child of King Viserys I in Fire and Blood, named heir to the Iron Throne ahead of her half-brothers, a proud princess whose contested claim seeds the war called the Dance of the Dragons.
Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen is the only surviving child of King Viserys I and his first queen, Aemma Arryn, and her story is told in Fire and Blood, the history of House Targaryen. With no living son ahead of her, her father names her heir to the Iron Throne and raises her to rule, seating her at his own councils. She grows into a proud, strong-willed princess with the silver-gold hair and purple eyes of her line, quick to anger and slow to forget a slight, and she dresses in the black and red of her house. The question of whether the Seven Kingdoms will accept a woman on the Iron Throne shadows her from girlhood, for she has younger half-brothers by her father's second queen, Alicent Hightower, and the court divides quietly around them, her party wearing black, the queen's wearing green. From that division springs the civil war remembered as the Dance of the Dragons.
